It’s once again time for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards, New Zealand’s science fiction and fantasy awards. My story “The Baker’s Son’s Iced Buns” (published in The Law of Mischief anthology) is eligible for entry and I would love your nomination!

Haven’t read it yet? You still can! It’s the first in the anthology, so you can read the whole story by using the “Read Sample” look inside on Amazon. (And then, hopefully you’ll have had such a fun time that you’ll jump on buying the anthology to read the rest of the stories!)

Nominating is open to everyone, and the more nominations a work receives, the more likely it is to be shortlisted for judging. The form takes only a minute or two to complete, and I would be so grateful if you did! Click through to the nomination form:
